UGA Factbook1993.Pdf The Fact Book 1993 Cover Lamar Dodd (b. 1909) ON THE CAMPUS, c. 1939 Oil on canvas, 39 1/2 x 30 inches Arranged through the courtesy of the Georgia Museum of Art Collection of C. L. Morehead, Jr. On the Campus not only gives a stunning perspective of the campus but also has great significance to The University of Georgia because of the artist who created it, Professor Emeritus Lamar Dodd. Without a doubt, Professor Dodd has singlehandedly contributed more to the cause of art at this institution and at the Georgia Museum of Art than any other individual. Born in 1909 and reared in LaGrange, Georgia, Professor Dodd joined the faculty of The University of Georgia in 1937 and a year later became head of the Department of Art, a position he held for the next 35 years. He was responsible for great expansion of the department, its facilities, its staff, and its programs, and was an impetus for the founding of the Georgia Museum of Art in 1948. He remains a strong advocate of the arts in the community and continues his support of the Museum through his contributions as well as his participation as a patron. A prolific and widely honored painter, Professor Dodd has had more than one hundred one-man shows, including twenty in New York City. His works have been in major national and regional exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe and are in numerous public collections, including those of the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some of his best known works include the NASA space series and the heart surgery paintings. On the Campus was painted shortly after Professor Dodd arrived at the University and portrays the historic North Campus of The University of Georgia. With painterly magic, the artist suggests a contemplative mood with a tranquil scene of students strolling between classes. Trees and lampposts stand as lofty sentinels and symbolize the high purposes and ideals of the University. According to Professor Dodd, "When I painted On the Campus I had two things in mind. One was to capture the spirit of Gothic form in our native architecture and landscape. The other was simply to commemorate my warm pleasure in being back in Georgia."

Over the years, these Fact Books have clearly documented The University of Georgia's impressive growth and development and thus have traced a portion of its history. I am extremely proud of the University's accomplishments, of the goals we have set and attained, and of the service we render to the state, to the nation, and to the world. I am especially proud of our graduates and their contributions to the larger society and of their loyalties to the University. Our attainments are possible only through the solid effort of the University's many strong supporters. I am grateful to you and appreciate your affirmation of our clearly stated vision of being one of America's best public universities. Sincerely, c;:.,o.J' .-{_1., e ~~<"(1 1 Charles B. Knapp President Lustrat House • Athens, Georgia 30602 • (706) 542-1214 AJ1 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For 25 years The University of Georgia Fact Book has recorded the University's vital statistics, over the years noting hundreds of thousands of students, faculty, and staff; millions of budget dollars, square feet of space, and library volumes; thousands of courses taught and degrees granted. Small numbers also have been noted as significant. It has often been one publication, one work of art, one signal accomplishment that has brought honor to the University because of profound contribution to the larger society. The lives and activities behind the numbers also offer a significant view of the University, as individuals with unique contributions come together in pursuit of, ultimately, common purpose: the development and support of one of the finest educational institutions in the country. The summary figures themselves have great value. But they cannot dip into the kaleidoscope of individual effort and struggle that forms the heart and soul of great social institutions such as the University. It is therefore to the work of individuals throughout the University that this twenty-fifth edition of The University of Georgia Fact Book is respectfully dedicated. Each year many persons contribute to production of the Fact Book, and I appreciate these contributions. Special acknowledgement and thanks go to the entire staff of Institutional Research and Planning, with special recognition to Deborah L. Holliday, who prepared all final copy, and Hazel S. Landers, who proofread all copy. Once again, University Printing worked carefully on printing the Fact Book. Based upon the number of inquiries IRP and others receive for Fact Book data and for the Fact Book itself, it is judged a valuable resource for those in the immediate University community and for friends and supporters elsewhere. We might speculate on the shape and format of the University's Fact Book 25 years hence. Surely such a record of the work of the University will only increase in value.

  • November 2010
    GHSA “Items of Interest” November 2010 Don’t Allow Healthy ‘Rivalries’ to Become Problems In recent days, I have seen articles in the media describing high school events as being “healthy rivalries” or “fierce rivalries.” During our discussions about reclassi- fication I have heard administrators talking about the need to have long-term “ri- vals” in the region to enhance gate receipts. And, regrettably, I handle problem issues that arise when people take their rivalries to an extreme. So I understand the value of rivalries when they are handled properly. From the perspective of the GHSA, it is important that rivalries in every sport bring out the best in people and not the worst. Administrators and coaches have very important responsibilities in setting the tone on campus about the need for good sporting behavior at all contests, but especially in contests with rivals. The positive messages from educators will hopefully have a positive effect on the behavior of students – both competitors and spectators. It is also important that these positive messages get presented to Boosters Clubs and to the community. Several recent problems that have come to the GHSA office have their roots among people in the community who want to stir up trouble. Educators may not be able to have direct control over the people in the community, but the positive message needs to be directed toward those people in hopes that some people will understand the role of school-based athletics. Most member schools invest a lot of time and effort into managing the contests as they occur.

A health and physical education major with a 4.0 G.P.A., Wentz was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-America® first-team choice. “I am extremely honored and blessed to be selected as the CoSIDA Academic All-American® of the Year. Being a student-athlete means making a strong commitment to both academics and athletics. I am proud to represent a championship football team, but also a program that values the importance of education,” said Wentz. “NDSU taught me so many things both in the classroom and on the football field,” he continued. “And I truly believe that helped me get to where I am today. I am very thankful for all of the support I received at NDSU.” The Philadelphia Eagles selected Wentz with the second pick of the 2016 NFL Draft in April. He is the first quarterback drafted out of NDSU and the highest-drafted non-Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) quarterback, surpassing Steve McNair (3rd in 1995), Phil Simms (7th in 1979), Joe Flacco (18th in 2008) and Ken O’Brien (24th in 1983).

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

  • Whitewash: White Privilege and Racialized Landscapes at the University of Georgia
    Social & Cultural Geography, Vol. 9, No. 4, June 2008 Whitewash: white privilege and racialized landscapes at the University of Georgia Joshua F. J. Inwood1 & Deborah G. Martin2 1Department of Geology and Geography, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA, jfi[email protected]; 2School of Geography, Clark University, 950 Main St., Worcester, MA 01610, USA, [email protected] This paper examines racialized landscapes at the University of Georgia to better understand the ways that whiteness—or more specifically white privilege—is positioned in and uses landscapes. Given a history of segregation, violently contested desegregation, and a contemporary student body that is disproportionately white (compared to the population of the entire state of Georgia), we investigate the meanings and contradictions of the University’s historic ‘North Campus’. Using a multi-method qualitative approach—including open-ended interviews and ‘roving focus groups’—we argue that privileged, white landscapes operate through a kind of whitewashing of history, which seeks to deploy race strategically to create a progressive landscape narrative pertaining to ‘race’. Key words: roving focus group, landscapes of memory, landscape studies, place identity, race, white privilege. Whitewash: 1. means employed to conceal mistakes the display was a photograph of Ms. Hunter- or faults.-v. 2. attempt to clear reputation by Gault pushing her way through a crowd of concealing facts.

  • November 21, 2019 the Athens Welcome Center Committee & The
    November 21, 2019 The Athens Welcome Center Committee & The Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau Re: Athens Welcome Center October Visitation Report Dear Friends, October at the Athens Welcome Center saw our overall visitation slightly higher for the month, and a bit lower year-to-date from 2018. International visitation, heritage travelers, and music related visitors were higher both for the month and year-to-date. This is excellent news because these groups are known to stay longer and spend more money! We are super excited to find that our year-to-date Gift Shop sales are nearly 70% higher compared to October of 2018. With our space being small, maintaining well-curated local items is critical, amidst the trend of robust online sales. Despite the UGA Football weekends, Classic City Tours had an especially busy month. The number of year-to- date tours and participants were higher for both Heritage and Museum Mile Tours. We hosted two well- attended Music History Tours for OLLI groups, a special Heritage Tour for Georgia Planning Association Conference VIP’s for A-CC Planning Director, Brad Griffin, and two Museum Mile tours for the Atlanta Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. October is always the time for our Haunted History Tours, which was revamped with a new moniker – The Athens Eerie Evenings Tour. This year, we weeded out erroneous fictional tales that ‘crept’ in, while adding new stories from local newspaper archives in a restructured driving and walking format covering Cobbham, Prince and Milledge Avenues, and South Campus. We typically see an uptick in attendance nearing Halloween, however Historic Athens’ free Haunted History Tour took a bite out of our late October attendance.

Football’s Barrett Jones was selected in 2013 while women’s golfer Brooke Pancake earned the award in 2012. “Just to be a member of the Capital One Academic All-America® At-Large team was such a tremendous honor, but to be named the Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year is beyond anything I could have imagined,” said Jacob. “I am deeply humbled by this prestigious award and want to thank Capital One and the members of CoSIDA for finding me worthy of it.
